Sri Rama Navami signifies Sri Rama's Birthday and this year falls on March 24, the last day of Vasantha Navaratri. Sri Rama is considered to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and is known for his compassion towards human beings.

The Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight of Chaitra is named Kamada Ekadasi. It consumes all sins, as a forest fire consumes a supply of dry firewood. It is very purifying, and it bestows the highest merit upon one who faithfully observes it.
